The Prayer of Acknowledgement..
Observing the Insignia - an excerpt from the Grand Ceremony
Warm greetings everyone.
Strength Heart and Wisdom to you all.
This excerpt from the Grand Ceremony "First Acknowledgment: Observing the Crown and Chalice Insignia" takes the form of a Prayer or short meditation called "The Prayer of Acknowledgement".
A Ritual Agreement for daily use for all Coven Members: Initiates, Students, Outer Court Practitioners of the Form, Friends on the Fringe, and/or anyone who loves the idea of Invoking or Drawing In Divine or Magical Energy without the need for Worship or Personification of a Deity.
You can use it whenever you'd like to centre or re-balance yourself, or as a private Focus Point, or to Clear the Way as an Opening for Gatherings, Rituals, and Workings.
If you don't have space, or find it difficult to raise your arms to the full Inverted Pyramid postion, just gently bend your elbows and make a "V" with your hands, shoulder width, palms up.
THE PRAYER of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
A Stand-alone Opening Prayer and Ritual Agreement for daily use.
Invoke the First Breath and raise your arms to the Inverted Pyramid position.
Gaze upon the CROWN of STRENGTH HEART and WISDOM and openly acknowledge with Mind and Voice:
"Tolerance brings Strength -- Patience brings Heart -- Understanding brings Wisdom.”
The Crown of Strength, Heart, and Wisdom is also The Chalice of Tolerance, Patience, and Understanding.
One, States of Being within our Order - the other, the Tools of our Craft.
We draw one in, and immerse ourselves in the other.
They are not the same, but they each contain their - alternate - attributes - equally."
Inhale.
Exhale and gently lower your arms.
Place left hand over heart, then right hand over left.
Nod your head forward in Positive Agreement and say:
“And So It Is”
Look up towards the INSIGNIA.
Inhale. Exhale.
Lower your arms.
And The Deed Is Done.
In the Service of the Craft.
